what science says about human beings working 40+ hours a week

[Race Jones]

Working more than 10 hours a day is associated with a 60 percent jump in risk of cardiovascular issues.

10% of those working 50 to 60 hours report relationship problems; the rate increases to 30 percent for those working more than 60 hours.


In companies with normal overtime, only 23 percent had absentee rates above 9 percent. In companies with high overtime, 54 percent had absentee rates above 9 percent.


:kanyecry2:Individuals working 11 hours or more of overtime have an increased depression risk.

Injury rates increase as work hours increase. Those who work 60 hours per week have a 23 percent higher injury hazard rate.

In companies with an 8.7 percent overtime rate, researchers found no fatigue-related problems. When the overtime rate was 12.4 percent, however, fatigue-related problems were minor.


By the time the overtime rate hit 15.4 percent, fatigue-related problems were severe.

In manufacturing industries, a 10 percent increase in overtime yields a 2.4 percent decrease in productivity.

In white collar jobs, productivity declines by as much as 25 percent when workers put in 60 hours or more.

:imdead:Many of the problems identified above tie to stress, which connect to hormonal balances. Specifically, stress raises cortisol, which can disrupt sleep, appetite, blood pressure, immune system function, memory/cognition, mood, & more.

Science Says You Shouldn't Work More Than This Number of Hours a Day

Working too much can be counterproductive and even hazardous to your health. You've been warned.

I believe it, I worked like 140 hours recently and I was fucking pissed.

The toll it took on my body was out of this world. Another reason why I’m glad I received that scholarship this year. Within the next 5 years, I plan to be fully into my set career.

Don't need someone with a degree to feel some of these effects lol. This grind culture isn't forced on the billionaires and people who control everything but this country was built on that suffering. Damn shame

They had the nerve to keep talking about mandatory overtime, smh. I was politely clocking out because nah. After that 140 hours, don’t even talk to me about mandatory anything.

I was doing like 15 hrs a day, plus my school work, and I have a 4.5 year old.

The shit is unpleasant AND my supervisor made sure not to say a damn thing to me when I decided not to do overtime. Won’t be killing me!

This topic is one of those ones that you really only understand after you travel outside of the country. In America we act like anyone who doesn't work at least full time hours is a bum. In a lot of other places what matters is the function you fulfill not how long you spend doing it.

Have had 3 days off since July, been doing 96hr weeks. Everything irritates me, and I’m usually mellow as hell. Stacking paper so that I can transition into what I WANT to do instead of this shit.

BTW: FUCK Taxes man. Got some shit up my sleeve for 2021
